What Should I Expect During the Surgery?

The first step toward undergoing breast augmentation with lift is to sit down for a consultation with Dr. Stephens. He will ask you about your goals for the procedure and answer any questions you have about the surgery. Dr. Stephens may also examine your breasts to determine the best way to approach the procedure. He will then work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs.

Breast augmentation with lift is performed as an outpatient procedure, and it’s typically done using general anesthesia. The specifics of the breast augmentation-mastopexy procedure can vary depending on the patient’s treatment plan.

After anesthesia has been administered, Dr. Stephens will usually begin by making incisions around the outer edges of the areolas and down to the folds beneath the breasts. He will then excise any excess tissue and lift your breasts to an elevated position.

Next, Dr. Stephens will carefully insert your customized silicone or saline breast implants and place them either behind your glandular breast tissue or behind your pectoral muscles. Once the implants have been properly positioned, the doctor will pull the skin tightly and close the incisions using tiny sutures. In total, the procedure typically takes between 1.5 and 3.5 hours, and you should be able to return home a few hours after it’s finished.

“After losing 130 lbs., I still didn’t feel good about myself because of all the excess skin I had. Dr. Stephens was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so thankful. Dr. Stephens and his amazing staff gave me back my self-confidence and made me feel beautiful again! I have never been treated so well. His OR staff was wonderful and made me feel safe. His nurse even hugged me while I was put to sleep! I had a tummy tuck, excess skin removal from arms, lipo, and a breast lift. I will never go anywhere else! Love Dr. Stephens and his staff!”
